dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I don't get it either. It's probably something like with bronies or just fandoms in general. They see a thing they like and have fun with creating and sharing OCs and stuff.

Life sucks and self expression is often dangerous, if you design yourself a character to embody yourself you can simultaneously express yourself and experiment with how you want to be perceived, while also having that as an image which you are seen as by your friends
